This is how it works with the contest:
1) Fill out the form and submit your recipes/pictures through the contest webpage by Sept. 20, 2016
2) You will hear from the organizer if you are selected as a finalist
3) International finalists will be invited to Japan to compete in the final match held on Oct. 16, 2016 in Yokohama, Japan
4) Prizes will be awarded to top 3 winners by the sponsors (TBD)

Every year many contestants enter from overseas and share unique and delicious recipes created with the food of their countries. It is a perfect opportunity for those who cook Japanese-style bento in a lunchbox and wish to visit Japan in the mean time.
